Throughout Europe Jewish sporting clubs arose because of antisemitism where Jews were refused membership of clubs or were simply not allowed to play sport. When WW2 began it is estimated that there were about 30,000 members of Maccabi clubs throughout Europe.
The Jewish Holocaust Centre have produced an incredible video which we urge you to watch with your children.
